BusinessEurope: Key principles for transport of tomorrow

22-09-2020

With this position paper, BusinessEurope sets out the guiding principles in relation to three initiatives under the current political cycle: Strategy for smart and sustainable mobility, legislative options to boost the production and supply of sustainable alternative fuels for the different transport modes*, and review of the Trans-European Network-Transport Regulation(TEN-T). For more background, please consult our strategy paper on the priorities for the EU transport sector beyond 2019 and our priority paper on zero-and low-emission mobility.

The transportsector needs very comprehensive and consistent policies which focus on the paradigm shift offered by the two megatrends: greening and digitalisation of transport systems.
Transport infrastructure is evidently crucial to achieve zero- and low-emission solution, but it has to rest upon digital solutions and a barrier-free Single Market framework to fully deliver.
